Led by charismatic singer / songwriter Billy Joe Huels, the raucous band tears through Huels’ original songs that draw inspiration from the roots of rock, rhythm and blues, honky tonk and jazz. Current members of the Dusty 45s also include Jerry Battista on lead guitar, Rod Cook on lead guitar, Robin Cady on upright bass, and Kohen Burrill on the drums. » Free In-the-Park Concert – Presented in cooperation with the Mayor, City Council and City of Fallon « JOHN JORGENSON BLUEGRASS BAND An all-star bluegrass super group featuring four legendary, award-winning musicians – John Jorgenson on acoustic guitar and vocals; Herb Pedersen on banjo, acoustic guitar and vocals; Mark Fain on bass; and Patrick Sauber on acoustic guitar and vocals – who deliver bluegrass like no one has ever heard it before. The four combine forces to form a spot-on union of impeccable musicianship, incomparable songwriting, incredible harmony vocals (a fresh twist combining bluegrass with elements of West Coast folk rock) and seasoned showmanship. This is the “high lonesome sound” of American roots music at its finest. AMERICAN PATCHWORK QUARTET Featuring Grammy-nominated vocalist Falu Shah, an 11th generation classical Hindustani musician; Grammy-winning guitarist / vocalist Clay Ross, a co-founder of Ranky Tanky; 3x Grammy-winning drummer Clarence Penn, a drumming protégée of the late Ellis Marsalis; and, highly acclaimed bassist Yasushi Nakamura, a first-call Issei jazz bassist.

PERFORMING ARTS DEL CASTILLO TRIO // January 29, 2022 PORTLAND CELLO PROJECT // March 26, 2022 DEL CASTILLO TRIO “Whether Del Castillo works in Spanish or English, they rock righteously. The Spanish guitars’ flamenco vibe gives a dramatic flair, abetted by passionate vocals,” says Billboard Magazine. This Austin, Texas-based trio – the del Castillo brothers, Rick and Mark, playing Spanish guitars, and award winning vocalist, Alex Ruiz – has developed a huge following. Their original music blends rock, Latin, blues, and world music into a cinematic celebration of sound that lifts your soul. They have won 10 Austin Music Awards while also touring with Stix, Los Lobos, Don Henley, Los Lonely Boys, and Willie Nelson. Rolling Stone says the band “conjures images of Eddie Van Halen fronting early Santana (with an assist from the Gypsy Kings).” PORTLAND CELLO PROJECT Giving new meaning to ideas of an Indie-Orchestra, the twelve-member ensemble gives classical music a high energy jolt. The group has built a reputation for mixing genres and blurring borders, taking on everything from Bach and Arvo Pärt to Dave Brubeck, Kanye West and Pantera. Their performances feature brilliant renditions of a range of music you wouldn’t expect to hear coming from a cello, including blending their deep textures with the unique harmonic landscape of the artistic power of Prince. Joined by musicians who have worked with Prince such as Saeeda Wright and Tyrone Hendrix, expect a lively evening of diversely-curated music that influenced or was influenced by The Purple One. LE VENT DU NORD The award winning and highly acclaimed band is a leading force in Quebec’s progressive francophone folk movement. Their vast repertoire draws from both traditional sources and original compositions, while enhancing their hard-driving soulful music (rooted in the Celtic diaspora) with a broad range of global influences. Featuring button accordion, guitar and fiddle, the band’s sound is defined by the hurdy-gurdy, which adds an earthy, rough-hewn flavor to even the most buoyant dance tunes. They have enjoyed meteoric success, performing 1,800 concerts over 5 continents and racking up several prestigious awards, including a Grand Prix du Disque Charles Cros, two Junos (Canada’s Grammys), a Félix at ADISQ, a Canadian Folk Music Award, and “Artist of the Year” at the North American Folk Alliance Annual Gala.

ABOUT THE OATS PARK ART CENTER Efforts to provide a permanent home for the Churchill Arts Council’s programs began with a series of community and regional meetings in 1989, which identified the historic Oats Park School building in Fallon as a potential candidate to house a multi-discipline community arts center. The structure was nominated to the Nevada and National Registers of Historic Places in 1990 and a Feasibility / Concept Study was commissioned and completed in 1992. The Study was extremely positive about returning the building to community use and – thanks to the funding from the National Endowment for the Arts, Arts Facilities Design Program – a Design Development report was completed in 1993. Construction documents for the entire art center were completed and construction and renovation began in 1996. In July 1999, Oats Park was designated as an Official Project of Save America’s Treasures – a public-private partnership of the White House Millennium Council and the National Trust for Historic Preservation. As such, Oats Park joined a very select group of historic resources that have been chosen to represent America’s treasures in need of support for their preservation and renovation. To proceed in the most cost effective manner and to accommodate available funding, construction and renovation has been implemented in a series of dovetailing and / or overlapping phases. The theatre opened in 2003, visual art galleries in 2006, and the final portions, including a café and catering kitchen were completed in 2016.
